    Are you able to run in Normal at all or does it make things too noisy. I tried Normal many times because people kept saying that it makes such a difference but there were very few places (actually none that I can think of) where Normal could be used comfortably. Jonathan Porter had said...

    ⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

    Hi Hawkear, Sorry if I am "telling grandma how to suck eggs" but it sounds like you would prefer to have the Threshold on whilst you have the 6000 in Auto or Auto+ ? You can do that by long pressing the Normal/Difficult button for 2.5 seconds. I really disliked the Threshold off when I had...

    Minelab Swing arm - question, thoughts.

    Good suggestion Davsgold. We will see how long this temporary (permanent 🤔) solution holds until I get the proper bit 😉

    Minelab Swing arm - question, thoughts.

    I've broken the plastic, jagged thingy...again! I think this is the 3rd one. I quite like the Minelab Guide arm. Works well, is light and simple and a necessary bit of kit but there is definitely a weak point. And I can't seem to be able to buy just that part, I have to buy a 'kit'...

    Double D for 6000

    I would suggest leaving it at home unless you want it for EMI reduction in close to urban areas. Other than that it is an unwieldy, heavy thing that I rarely used and several people I know with 6000s also never use. The only person in Vic that I know uses the 14" is my mother's friend who...

    Sound booster for 4500

    Booty Booster B&Z Booster SPO1 Gold Snitch I think they will all run speakers or headphones. Used to be a Rooster Booster, not sure if they’re still around. And Doc’s gold screamer. Expensive though because it is from the US. Others have used guitar amps as well. I’ve currently got...

    Power banks

    I got one of these Trev, happy with it so far. https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/cygnett-chargeup-outback-gen2-20k-powerbank-black-cy4412pbch Just note though that the solar charger only charges about 0.3 amp per hour. I think charging via Micro USB is 1 amp and USB C is 2...

    Prospecting Log Book

    Interesting question. I used to keep a fishing log book - day, time of day, what was caught, barometer reading, etc. Try to find some patterns. An accounting ledger style of book is what I used and could be adapted to suit your needs. Each column can be a different item - name - address -...

    GPX5000 Modifications

    Well, that was a ‘bum puckering’ moment. But it works!! The last bits for the battery build finally turned up. Lessons learnt. - soldering tiny crap is hard. - check, check and check again before soldering. - a multimeter provides great peace of mind. - I won’t be going into the electronics...

    4500 repairs

    Mick also has the Busy B battery/wireless audio/built in amp combo also. Kill a few birds with 1 stone. Everything on his website says out of stock though, so not sure what is going on there. Note, I've never used or seen a Busy B system but reviews are good.
